Non-League: Guiseley take former Blades trainee on loan from Mansfield

Mansfield Town midfielder Kevan Hurst who has signed on loan with Guiseley until the end of the season.

Hurst joined Mansfield in June last year after being released by Southend United, and has made 16 appearances for the League Two side this season.

The 31-year-old ex-Sheffield United trainee has not started in a league game since December 17.

Guiseley have no game this weekend as their scheduled opponents Sutton United are playing Leeds United in the FA Cup on Sunday, so Hurst will have to wait for the National League game at Wrexham on February 4 for his debut.

“I spoke to Adam Lockwood,” said Hurst. “He’s a young manager who knows what he wants after speaking to him I wanted to join.

“Guiseley have got some form, I want to help add to that and help get the side out of the relegation zone and up the league.

“I spent four really good years at Southend United, I’ve seen messages from fans wishing me luck at Guiseley and I want to thank them.”
